About Me
I'm Jude, a Senior DevOps Engineer originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬, now building the future of cloud infrastructure from Amsterdam 🇳🇱.
The Journey
Growing up in Nigeria, frequent power outages weren't just inconveniences - they were lessons in resilience and reliability. This early experience shaped my obsession with building systems that never go down. Today, I architect platforms that achieve 99.99% uptime, turning infrastructure from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
The Evolution
My career mirrors the industry's transformation. Starting as a SAP Technical Administrator at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, I've evolved alongside technology - from managing on-premise servers to orchestrating cloud-native architectures processing terabytes of data across multiple continents.
The Impact
Over 10 years, I've saved companies over €2.5 million through intelligent automation and right-sizing. But numbers only tell part of the story. I've mentored 20+ engineers, watching them grow from writing their first Terraform module to architecting entire platforms. Their success is my greatest achievement.
Beyond the Terminal
When I'm not architecting systems or exploring AI/ML infrastructure, I play chess, and this surprisingly enhances my technical work; the clarity, observation and patience for a piece move often illuminates elegant solutions to complex problems.
What's Next
I'm focused on building platforms that scale, mentoring engineers, and solving problems that matter. My ideal role combines technical depth with my passion for growing teams and driving impactful transformations.
